Three-piece suit made from 15 ounce twill worsted. Not vintage, but woven the old fashioned way. The vest is eight button DB with big wide shawl lapels. Again, not vintage (made this year) but old fashioned. Looks something like the suit on the right:

1930's inspired tea length black & cream plaid skirt, Black peek a boo platform heel - these shoes are dead sexy, I almost swooned when I found them - and a black turtle neck sweater.
Pearl earrings and a bracelet made out of vintage type writer keys - sounds weird but it is very cool.

Camel colored linen pleated pants, a white sweater shirt with navy blue at the neck and sleeve, and an oversized fuzzy off white sweater belted at the waist with a wide safari looking belt. Not vintage, but one of my favorite outfits :)

Tan suit with a Glen Plaid pattern, French Blue French Cuff shirt with yellow and blue cufflinks, bright yellow, orange and French Blue tie from Venice, New Italian shoes, New blue and orange silk scarf with a scroll pattern from Venice and my Burberry overcoat that was a recent gift from a dear friend. :D

today- I didn't have any time in the morning, so I wore my '70's reissue Zippy the pinhead T-shirt, a pair of jeans, and a stingy brim gray cavanagh.

See- today was the due date/deadline for an AP english project. I ended up typing 12 pages of analysis, and finding 40 pages of articles related to "Brave New World". I worked from 2:30- a bit past midnite. I was exhausted this morning.

It's going to be terribly warm today in Sydney (mid-30s centigrade), so I've had to dress for that - I'm wearing my favourite pair of black slacks and a sleeveless wrap top with a black and white pattern that looks Victorian influenced. It's not vintage, but it will keep me relatively cool!

Been in the same thing sicne my shower this morning: corset and liner, old skirt I need to toss and a 20's wrap apron over the whole mess. Cooking, barefoot, barefaced, barelegged, 'do rag over the messy, un-set hair (I DO have perfume on). And a generous dusting from head to toe in flour from the sugar cookies and pie crusts we made earlier. You can't come over.

Seal brown Cooper G-1 flight jacket.
Green tweed Jonathan Richard newsboy with the big dumb top button pulled off. (Not easy to do.)
English tan perforated cap-toe Timberland waterproofs. They look classic until you see them from the side. Then you see the stamped tree logo and the false arch – the sole just narrows slightly on each side. They're comfy as all get-out.

Right now? Polo Khakis and Polo blue oxford cloth shirt with the sleeves rolled up. A pair of Sebago casuals with no socks and a brown Miller "Baldwin" hat with 2 1/8" brim.

My hair is in reversed rolls, (the ladies just taugh tme that a day or two ago), a black snood and I have a big red flower in my hair. I'm about to put on my red swing coat and long black gloves, and go home. :p

That's me today. More dressed up than usual.

Today I wore a blue pencil skirt, dark blue "sweater girl" type sweater, navy stockings (whcih were so cute if I do say so myself) and those darned black pumps again which I love but my tootsies hate. My hair was in a big bun with lavendar lilies, oh, and I wore my favorite grapes brooch circa 193?

Today is my day off. I was gonna dress down and just run an errand or two and call it a day. No, I tried and was all huffed. SO I put on a button up calico oxford, tights, my houndstooth tube skirt, brown loafers and my green wool felt suit coat that I just finished. That was dressed down to me. :eusa_doh:

I guess Im in it for the long haul. :)

Just another day at work for me. Safari shirt from Cabela's, Orvis briar pants (it was crazy windy, and nothing gets through these pants!), J.Crew Ruggeds, canvas Orvis short jacket, and my Akubra Flinders, which I recently modified with an RCMP hatband to replace the way-too-western braided hatband. Pretty much the same everyday, since I never know when I may go on a snake call (well, that was pretty unlikely today, since it was 23 degrees when I got up this morning!), dig through a box of artifacts, or go out to the field. As it turned out the most strenuous thing I did all day was comb-bind a report (interestingly, Marc, it was the first report to come out of the Range Creek Canyon (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A19415-2004Jun30.html) study. Great stuff!).

Since i was hungover and i actually forgot to shave and treat my pencil-mustache. [huh]

But tonight theres a christmas-dinner, and i will wear my new high rise trousers and vest from "Old Town" (!) chocolate brown wool serge that is. White shirt, dark and dotted bow tie amd with that ill wear a danish WW2 resitance fighter pin and have b/w spectator shoes on my happy feet.

Dark blue wide-leg jeans, short sleeve light-blue oxford shirt(Sears from the late 70s), white T-shirt(Hanes), brown herringbone zip-up jacket (from the Gap), modern sneakers and argyle socks. Casual yet out of place in todays college fashions. As in none of my clothes has some logo scrawled across it.

My roomate (left) and I (right) before going to a formal dinner recently.

I am new to the forum and I am still searching the threads, but I came here to learn more about hats. My first was a steel grey Stetson fedora, new, ten years ago. Since then I have had a Bailey, and a straw porkpie, not to mention all my boonies and caps. I just want to learn more. My new chocolate Stetson is actually 'vintage'- whatever that means. It has a great hand, fine finish and is marked as beaver. One of the nicest hats I have seen in a while, but it could be from the 70s for all I know.

Anyone here heard of a conformulator? Got to try one out in a custom hat shop in Albuquerque this year.

Looking forward to this forum...

Today I had on a chocolate blouse with an iridescent sheen with a bow front, my gold/chocolate linen herringbone tube skirt, a loooong strand of fake pearls knotted just below the bow, my tan wool button up sweater, my calf high boots and a cabbie. I was sooooo 50's today :)

An older lady in the fabric store kept looking at me. I hope it was a good stare :o

Today was one of my favorites. My navy blue with white polka dots lane bryant dress circa 1946 (which is actually in one of my catalogs :D ), red baby doll pumps, red swing coat, navy gloves and scarf. Hair in rolls, navy snood, red flowers. Actually, there is this lady at my job who always asks about my clothes and gets upset when I tell her something is 50 or 60 years old. I think she thinks I'm playing games with her. lol

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

A 3/2 sack is short for a three button roll to two sack suit. It's basically the old Brooks Brothers/J Press style with no darts. The third button rolls under the lapel and is not meant to be buttoned.

Alan I like that black knit tie w/chalk or pinstripe grey suit(albeit 2 button)
I'm going to try that knit tie w/ a suit concept on a non bow day-
Thanks! The tie is actually a grenadine, but a knit would work fine (it's what Bond wore after all!)

Yah, I know, I live in LA. However, I had a cold recently, so I've been freezing under the hot sun and dressing warm for it. I've been clashing this way the past couple days:

Today was a black pinstripe circle skirt dress that I made from a re-released pattern from 1952, black stockings, black baby doll pumps which by the end of the day were black satin ballerina flats, black cardi and my favorite calla lily sweater guard. Also, my hair was up and I wore a purple lily in my hair. :D

12-15-2006, 07:29 PM

Today I wore colors that aren't supposed to go together: navy blue rayon gab shirt w/matching sox, black pegged suit trou, brown shoes and ditto flight jacket, topped off with a charcoal grey Royal Stetson. Worked admirably, especially considering the shirt and sox had a vivid purplish cast and stood out nicely from the trou.

Our grand opening is 17 January, so I am trying to decide what I will be wearing. We will be going out into the field immediately afterwards for a tour of our National Register rock art site, Foxtrot, so I have to be both presentable at the event and then ready to speand a few hours in the desert with equal aplomb.

tattersall vest is nice too. Really would like one myself but don't want the fox buttons like the eba ones I find.

It will be open to the public, yes! Thanks for the interest!

It will be very small, I'm afraid. The primary function is just curation, so the bulk of the building is a huge room filled with wire shelves and brown cardboard boxes. The next smaller room is unprocessed collections and archival materials (photos, reports, field records, etc.), also all in brown cardboard boxes, but includes a small display of the fossil jaw of a Harlan's Ground Sloth (http://www.tarpits.org/education/guide/flora/sloth.html) (1.8 mya). The central hallway has some display space, which will include the fossil foot and plastron of our extinct giant tortoise, Hesperotestudo, Native American artifacts, and a video kiosk on the history of Condor Field, the Army Air Forces glider training facility that preceded the Marine base. However, if you are in the area visiting Joshua Tree National Park, which has its headquarters right here in 29 Palms, it might be worth stopping by!

Cudahy is one of those small towns that you can enter and get the sense that it hasn't changed at all since the golden era. I am, however, unfamiliar with Wasika's.

Today:
Early 1940s? double-breasted suit. Heavy, stiff wool. Dark navy blue with a subtle burgundy checked pattern. Nice crease in the sleeves. It's quite a nice suit, but one I have not worn often. When I found it, one of the pant cuffs were frayed a bit...my tailor fixed it up nicely.

Quite modern today....A very dark olive green dress suit with a long skirt. The skirt had a cream pin stripe and a long back slit, cream colored sling backs to pull out the pinstripe. And today my hair is ironed stick straight.

Cold and windy in DC today, so I opted for a gray wool skirt with a floral embroidery, red turtleneck sweater, and black boots. The boots aren't vintage, but I must stay warm today. Sorry [huh]

Today was gray tweed high waisted trousers, a purple blouse with a big bow and purple wedgies (didn't even know I had purple wedgies :eek:) I wore my hair in reverse rolls with a purple lily.

Dinerman

01-11-2007, 06:44 PM

1960's grey swedish wool army pants (again)
1950's swedish pea coat
brown stetson stratoliner
brown(they used to be grey, but have been worn in so much mud) hiking boots
t-shirt from the snow white grill.

A 50's headscarf that kind of fastens round your head with popper stud things. Sounds strange I know, but it's pretty cool. Parisian images on it, and it's pale green in the background. And was trying on a 40s rhinestone necklace earlier that needs a repair and I was working out how to do it. Sorted. :)

I wholeheartedly agree with earlier poster who said this. It would be really great to actually see how people put themselves together. Kudos to those of you who are already doing this!

The variety of styles represented here is staggering and I think it would wonderful to see all of the different approaches. It would be helpful to those of us who are still a bit bewildered about how to incorporate the styles we love into practical, day-to-day clothing, and it would give examples of what colors work together, which patterns "go," what syles work with what body types, etc..

If it takes a few days to put the pictures up and it is more of a "What were you wearing two days ago..." sort of thing, it would still be interesting to see. Even blurry, "I took this in the bathroom mirror" pics would be better than nothing, and if you're too shy, just take a picture of your clothing ensemble laying out on the bed or something.

I know I'm being a hypocrite here, as I haven't posted any pics yet, but I think this thread has great potential, and I will contribute to it as soon as I get the chance.

Griemersma...this is also my typical winter wear when running around after work or on the weekends. Lately, it's been cold & messy. Temps in the low 20s (F) & plenty of snow. Lots & Pendleton/Levis/Chippewa boots/newsboy days for me lately. My biggest wardrobe weakness, however, is a quality leather jacket. I've had the cheap highwayman-style jacket from the GAP given to me as a gift 15 years ago. To the ignorant, it looks okay. To me, it looks sloppy. I just haven't got myself to pull the trigger on a decent leather jacket yet. Every time I think I'll do it, my money instead goes to shoes or sports coats or gab shirts or vintage pants or.....?

Today I was told by a coworker, "you look dressed up today." (This by a coworker who regularly comes to work in badly fitting khakis with Birkenstocks...I really don't need to see his feet at work!)
Early 50's gray trousers
White dress shirt
Blue v-neck sweater vest
Black Covington Allen Edmonds
Dressed up? Hmm.

Today I ran out of clean jeans to wear, so I HAD to wear a skirt, even though I have class & don't really enjoy walking around on campus wearing heels all day.

It's a simple day of (MORE) house cleaning and laundry for me, so I will be doning my finest raggity red day dress for my chores. It has holes and is missing the 5 bottom buttons... I will also be going bare foot... as it is a nice day out and I like walking through the grass to get to the laundry room. Yay!

:p :p To think that most people would just wear sweat clothes......but we're not most people.

herringbone german 30s SBPL, herringbone 30s trousers, blue/white striped Tom Sawyer 30s boys shirt (sometimes it helps to be able to jam into a 13.5 benecked shirt), brown/cream/white striped 30s tie. Modern suede shoes. And yes, the soles of the shoes are rubber soled. Helps in the snow. I was worried about how the grey of the jacke would combine with the brown of the trousers, but it seems to have worked okay:

Well I meant to post this yesterday but I was wearing a black sweater, yellow dress shirt of unknown vintage (70s? But with a nice collar) 1955 Levi 501s, brown AAF shoes, brown socks with sporty print.

Honestly, today it was white T-shirt, blue shirt featuring Mr. Rogers and the qoute "It's all good in the 'hood, 70s Levi western style(mother of pearl snaps) tan shirt, brown corduroy jacket, modern wide leg Levis, Onitsuka Tigers (white with green stripes).
I apologize for today. Sometimes I just wanna dress like a hipster. Maybe I should invest in a black turtleneck?

Interestingly, the only other person even near dressed to the same level was a young black man and his date. He had a fur overcoat on and suit with vest under it. He also wore a brown homburg to match is outfit. She had a fur coat with a nice black dress under that. There is some hope for looking good in public. I gave them both a compliment. :D

I object! Where did you get that snow? A winter isn't a winter without 6 inches of glorious white, and I've had absolutely none as yet. Bah whizzers! Today's wear is a pair of late 30s black brogues, ladies style, and a deco ring. Not much I know, but much commented upon.

Maybe the last time out for the G&H Chesterfield this season. It's supposed to be near 70 by week's end. I remembered the pocket square this time, and pulled out the wool herringbone Stetson:

I've been wearing my Korean War military khaki chinos, Keds, and white shirts all week...it's getting boring. It's raining now, so hopefully tomorrow will cool down enough for a suit.

Today I look live my avatar. It's a gab suit, estimated '49 to '52 or so. Perhaps the nicest drape of any gab I own. The color of the suit is stone gray. I haven't worn this suit all winter. I'm wearing the same tie...late '40s/early '50s tie (Phillips Clothing Company, Miami)...palm tree in pink & claret...body in a blue-gray & claret. Shoes are AE Lexington in black. The only change from my avatar is a pocket square, and the kid is bigger.
